Last year, Milford student Grayson Hardoerfer was selected as one of now 21 high school students across Ohio to serve on the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation’s Youth Advisory Council.
Recently, Grayson and fellow council members met in Columbus to review applications for youth-led mental health and suicide prevention initiatives. Together, they selected 10 projects to receive nearly $10,000 in grant funding, supporting efforts like therapy dog programs and peer-led wellness fairs in schools and communities across the state.
We’re proud to see Grayson representing Milford and making an impact beyond our district!

It was too nice to stay inside today!
Mrs. Pangallo’s class took their learning outdoors while exploring the Mississippian culture and the journey of Hernando de Soto. No river nearby, but plenty of fresh air to bring the lesson to life!

Mr. Underwood’s AP Chemistry students took their learning beyond the classroom with a visit to Northern Kentucky University for a hands-on lab experience.
Using real college-level equipment in a university setting gave students a chance to level up their skills and get a glimpse of what’s ahead after high school. Experiences like this don’t just bring chemistry to life, they help students start picturing themselves on a college campus and in their future careers. 🧪

Some of our youngest learners may have noticed a new face popping into their classrooms lately… 📚
Superintendent Dr. Fiori has been visiting classrooms across the district, reading with some of our youngest learners and sharing the joy of a good story.
Reading together not only builds important literacy skills, but also helps students develop confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. It’s been a great way to connect with students and highlight the importance of reading each and every day.

They may be assistant principals… but they run the show more than they’d ever admit.
From handling hallway adventures to showing up at just about every after-school event, our assistant principals are everywhere they need to be (and somehow everywhere else too). They’re problem-solvers, hype squads, schedule jugglers, and calm-in-the-chaos pros all rolled into one.
Join us in thanking our incredible assistant principals for everything they do to keep our schools moving forward each and every day!

🍀✨ Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Milford! ✨🍀
To get ready for the big day, our Kindergarten students at Pattison Elementary put their creativity (and spelling skills!) to the test by building clever T-R-A-P-S to catch those sneaky leprechauns and snag their gold!
But there’s a catch… they had to spell it out instead of saying it, or those tricky leprechauns might hear them and scurry away!
We’re crossing our fingers that their creative designs and careful spelling paid off, because you never know what a little luck and a lot of imagination can bring!

Brain surgery. Tumor removal. And Milford High School students had a front-row seat to it all.
Students enrolled in Honors Anatomy & Physiology and AP Biology had the unique opportunity this morning to witness a live surgical procedure streamed directly into the classroom. During the seminar, students observed expert surgeons perform an orbitozygomatic craniotomy for the resection of a craniopharyngioma, a highly specialized procedure used to remove a tumor from the brain.
The session also included a live Q&A component with the surgical team, giving students the opportunity to hear directly from the medical professionals performing the procedure.
Experiences like this help bring classroom learning to life by showing students how biology and anatomy translate into real-world medical practice.

Tomorrow, March 6, is a Teacher Work Day, which means no school for students while our staff spends the day planning and preparing for the weeks ahead.
The forecast is calling for rain and possibly even a thunderstorm, so it may be a perfect cozy indoor day. Build a blanket fort, have a fun board game tournament, bake something sweet, visit the library, or have a movie marathon with popcorn at home.
Rainy days can still be fun days! Have a great long weekend!

Last week, Milford High School hosted its annual Scheduling Fair, welcoming students and families to explore course options for the upcoming school year. Students had the opportunity to explore pathways and opportunities such as choir, Tech Squad, HOSA, publications, and more while connecting directly with teachers, staff and even other students in the program!
Incoming freshmen and their parents also attended a presentation about the Ninth Grade Community, learning what to expect and how we support students during their first year of high school.

Our students had an absolute blast competing in the Clermont County Special Olympics at the pool facility at New Richmond High School! Students from across the district came together for a full morning of swimming and having fun!
With families cheering them on every step (and splash!) of the way, our athletes showed off their skills, supported one another, and even took home some very special medals.
We’re so proud of our students and grateful for the incredible support from families and staff.

This week marked the return of our exciting Instrument Showcase! Band directors, staff, and a few Milford High School students visited our 5th graders across the district to introduce them to a variety of instruments. Students had the chance to try out the clarinet, trumpet, flute, and the always-popular trombone. Every instrument was carefully sanitized between each use, allowing for maximum fun!
Due to winter weather and unsafe travel conditions, Milford Exempted Village Schools will be closed Tuesday, December 2. The safety of our students, families, and staff is always our top priority, and current conditions do not allow for safe transportation.
All extended care programs, including Right at School, will also be canceled for the day.
MEVSD will continue to monitor weather conditions and will share any updates as needed. If additional communication is required, we will provide information through email, text, social media, and our website.
Thank you for your understanding and support. Stay safe!

Last week’s Halloween brought something truly special thanks to our Milford High School Sculpture and Drawing + Painting students!
With the guidance of their teacher, Mrs. Adrian Vance Hawk, these talented artists spent four weeks designing and building custom Halloween costumes for kids through the local nonprofit May We Help — an organization that creates one-of-a-kind devices and costumes for children with disabilities.
This year, the MHS team created a circus train–themed costume for a local family of seven children — one who uses a wheelchair and the others who ride in a wagon — turning them into a colorful, joyful circus on wheels! 🎪🚂
A huge shoutout to Olivia T., Ollie S., Elena S., Isabella R., Arrow W., Brynn W., and Dalilah E. for using their creativity, compassion, and teamwork to make Halloween extra magical for some very special kids.

Milford Schools recently completed a comprehensive performance audit through the Ohio Auditor of State’s Office. The audit reviewed Milford’s operations and expenditures, comparing them to peer districts across Ohio.
As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and fiscal responsibility, we’re sharing these findings with our staff and community as we work together to strengthen our operations.
The audit examined five key areas — Staffing, Insurance, Transportation, Facilities, and Extracurriculars — and offered recommendations to strengthen efficiency and financial stability. While the Board of Education will review and evaluate all key areas outlined in the audit, some adjustments and reductions are already in motion as part of the District’s continued efforts to improve efficiency and long-term financial stability.

Big smiles and even bigger leadership moments in Ms. Parsley’s class! These students met with the high school principal, assistant principals, SRO, and superintendent to practice their communication skills and learn what real leaders do — listen, support, and make a positive impact.
